Its latest iteration is a homage to its rich history, originally a favorite in 1980s football stadiums. Its design, featuring a T-toe construction and the classic gum outsole, remains true to its roots. However, the introduction of vibrant new colorways injects a contemporary flair into this storied silhouette.
